Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue

Brownie

Brownie has an application pending that will most likely turn into an adoption!

Hi – My name is Brownie. I had a really troubled life early on – I was rescued at four months old. My skin, ears and eye was so bad that I had to have immediate vet care. My eye was so bad that is had to be removed.

Now, after about six months, I am better than I have ever been. My foster parents went two weeks without even knowing I was without eye.

I am still a puppy with all the excitement and craziness that implies. I love to be around other dogs and have not shown any issues with kids. During adoption events, I haven’t had any issues with small children.  I haven’t met a cat yet!

I am a great dog with little issue with the missing eye. I need a strong family to keep me on the course I am on but will be s wonderful dog for someone.  I’m fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped and am waiting for you to take me home!

If you are interested in meeting Brownie, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Molly

Molly is a seven year old solid black female that currently lives in New Mexico. She is an owner surrender and would like very much to retire to the beautiful mountains of Colorado! She tells us that in her perfect new home, she would be the “only” dog and that there would be no other distractions like kids or cats. She says that she’s very nervous about the other dogs in her current home trying to take her food and her toys, not to mention the attention that she wants from her owner! 

Molly is a sweet, submissive little girl. When she was younger, she had bladder stones and had to have surgery to remove them. Now she’s on a prescription diet to make sure this situation does not recur. Her owner says that she occasionally has accidents in the home, but when they go out of town and leave her with friends, she never soils their house, so they believe its the stress of her current home causing this behavior. She is spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She knows several commands such as sit, stay, come, and go to bed, which means go to her crate! She likes to go on walks, but gets excited and pulls a bit on the lead. 

If you are interested in giving Molly a new forever home, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Puck

Puck has an adoption application pending!!

Hi there, my name is Puck. I’m so glad you want to learn more about me – hopefully you’ll like what you see! I came to Rocky Mountain Cocker Rescue from a shelter in Pueblo. My previous owner couldn’t keep me anymore because of issues with his landlord. I didn’t understand much of that – all I knew was I really liked my person and my house and then I wound up in a cage in a scary place. A shelter is no place for a 5 years young, handsome boy like me! Luckily, some nice people came and got me out and they’ve been taking really good care of me. I got a haircut, my teeth cleaned and I’ve even lost a little weight! I’m all ready to go home with my new forever family and love them so much they’ll wonder how they ever lived without me.

You are probably wondering if I would be a good fit in your home. My foster parents tell me I’m a pretty amazing and easy-going guy. I already love you and I haven’t even met you. I love your kids, I love your cats and I love your dogs – basically, I’m a lover! If you would like to let me lie in your lap all day and pet me, that would be fantastic. If you’re a little more active, that’s okay by me too! I really enjoy my walks and I do just fine on a leash. Playing outside with you in the yard is really fun too. Swimming is another favorite pastime of mine. I like to swim with ducks in the lake at the park. Don’t worry, I would never hurt them, I just think they’re pretty cool! I am always happy when I am with my people so I will fit into a loving family and their lifestyle with no problem! As you can see, I’m a pretty perfect little guy. I am playful, I am friendly, I am loving, I am Puck! Come meet me today!

Please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application if you are interested in Puck.

Cocoa

Cocoa has an adoption application pending!  You can still apply with the understanding that she may not be available.

“I don’t do fashion; I AM fashion.” So said Coco Chanel, who would think this little girl was equally fabulous! This Cocoa Chanel (love the pun!) is five year old AKC-registered owner surrender from Arkansas. Cocoa is a sweet little girl who will make a great family pet. She gets along with other dogs and all people. She is perfectly housetrained and also crate trained. She sleeps best in a crate at night, but loves to cuddle on the couch too. She loves squeaky balls, and knows sit, lie down and come. She is very food motivated, so learned these tricks quickly.

She tolerates having her ears cleaned and lets you take things away away or out of her mouth easily. She had an unknown injury to her right eye in 2009 and had it removed, but that doesn’t affect her at all (and it doesn’t look creepy!). Her coat is shiny and healthy, except that the fur on the front of her throat has been rubbed off—we’re not sure if that’s from a shock collar or pulling at a tie-out. So we would request that Cocoa be walked only on a harness.

We believe Cocoa was originally in a rural environment, and she is adjusting to the bustle of a city neighborhood—she is learning the command ‘hush’ to keep her from barking at people outside. When she arrived at her foster home, she was a hefty 40 lbs, but with a diet and walks she is now a svelte 34 lbs! Cocoa has had her ears and teeth cleaned and will be microchipped shortly and she is up to date on her vaccinations. You know what they say—Chanel is forever! Can’t you be Cocoa Chanel’s forever home?

If you want to meet me, please make sure you’ve filled out an online adoption application!

Coco’s Happy Tale

Carol and Coco

Coco is another of our sweet Cocker Spaniels that never made it onto the Web site.  Word of mouth led her to Carol before we could even post her.  Coco came to us from a local shelter and she needed to be spayed and groomed before we could get photos of her to post to our Web site.  Her foster mom had heard that Carol was looking to find a new companion after her beloved Brooke had passed away from cancer.  So, a meeting was arranged and that was that!  Carol has a new companion and Coco has a new forever home!  All is well in their world.

Butterscotch’s Happy Tale

Chad, Tara and Astyn (formerly Butterscotch)

Butterscotch is one of those lucky rescue dogs that never made it onto the RMCR Web site.  On the day that she was surrendered by her former owners, she went to an adoption event in Colorado Springs.  Chad and Tara happened to walk by and noticed her.  After talking it over, they decided that they would like to give her a new home.  They submitted an application and after it was processed, they welcomed her into their home and are now calling her Astyn.  Tara wrote to say that she fits right in to the home and that she really wanted to play with the resident cat.  At first, the cat wasn’t so crazy about having a canine sister, she was getting braver and we assume that by now they’re good pals!

Ansil

Ansil is a three year old male. He is white and tan. He came to us from Kansas where he was rescued from a shelter and spent three weeks in a foster home there. We don’t know much about his life before that.

He now lives in his foster home with two other Cockers, one large dog, and two cats. His human family includes a seven year old boy and a three year old girl. Ansil is very sweet and very smart. He is just waiting to bond with a forever friend. He loves to cuddle in laps and is very interested in everything that happens in the home and in the yard. With time he will be completely housebroken. He is neutered and up to date on all shots. RMCR will microchip him for you.

If you are interested in meeting Ansil, please make sure you have completed an online adoption application.

Komiko’s Happy Tale

Lady

Here is our sweet little Lady. This eight-year-old came to us from one of the local shelters. She was deemed unadoptable because she had mammary tumors and a cataract in one eye. The shelter gave us less than 48 hours to decide if we would take her into rescue. We did and we’re so very happy with our decision!

She has been through an awful lot in the last month or two: two separate surgeries to spay her, remove multiple adenocarcinomas, bladder stones, and a fatty tumor. The lymph nodes were tested after the first surgery and we were delighted to find that the cancer had not spread beyond the mammary glands, the affected ones of which have now been removed. There is every reason to believe that she will recover completely, and little reason to believe that these particular problems will recur, though she may need to be checked for bladder infections occasionally if the symptoms recur. Treatment is fairly easy and inexpensive, usually requiring only antibiotics. She has a cataract in one eye limiting her vision on that side, but she doesn’t find it to be a problem, and she is slightly hard of hearing. Through it all, she has been the sweetest, best-trained dog in the world–even right after her first surgery, she insisted on tottering to the potty pad to relieve herself, and has since pottied exclusively outside. She is currently on antibiotics and a special diet, though she will return to eating regular food within a few weeks. 

Lady certainly lives up to her name–she is a very polite and affectionate dog, quiet and friendly. Lady spends her evenings with her head on her foster mama’s foot and is always ready to be petted. She gets along well with other dogs and children, though she does tend to chase the cats a bit–more out of curiosity than anything, it seems. The person that adopts her will get a calm, loving, adorable, sweet little friend, and she will get the loving home she so richly deserves. She walks well on a leash, and knows sit, come, no, and down. She has all of her vaccinations and will be microchipped for her new owner. 

If you interested in meeting Lady, please make sure you’ve completed an online adoption application.

Jory

Hi! My name is Jory, and I’m a one year old boy looking for love. Despite my rough start to life, I am still full of joy that I want to share.

I was just a pup when I was dumped at a high kill shelter in Nebraska. I didn’t find a home in time so I was down to my last days when a beautiful soul decided I was too amazing to leave this world without ever knowing what it’s like to be loved by a family. A vet clinic offered to board me while they looked for a rescue to take me. I’ve waited a long time but I am finally safe! I’m so thankful so many wonderful people worked so hard to save my life. I am now enjoying life in a super comfy house and I love it! I adore my foster parents and I have been the very best boy I can be for them. They have another foster dog and I really like having him around to show me the ropes. I haven’t had much experience with playing, but I’m starting to learn that it’s fun to romp with my foster brother and am starting to show a little interest in toys. I thought the cats were going to be fun to play with when I first moved in, but I learned very quickly that I am only supposed to look at them. I’m very smart, you see! I really like living here and I love my foster parents very much, but they told me I am just waiting here until my forever family finds me. I will be sad to leave them, but I am looking forward to meeting my family that will love me forever and ever.

My ideal home would be with a reliable, loving family. Because I’ve had a rough start, I can get worried if you leave me for too long. I am learning that a family loves me and will always come back for me, but I would not do well in a home where my people are gone for long periods of time. I am still quite young and would enjoy a family that gives me time to be active with them before settling down to hang out as a family at night. I do really well with other dogs that are nice to me, and I do fine with cats too! I’ve met some kids in my new neighborhood, and they seem like nice little humans to have around. I’m such a gentle soul that I would probably do well around any creature that is kind to me! I’m also quite the looker with my red, luxuriously soft coat. And of course, I’m neutered and up-to-date on all my shots! Also, when you’re ready to take me home, I’ll have a microchip that tells people I’m all yours. Hopefully you like what you see and will come to meet me soon. I’m ready to start the life a good boy like me should’ve had all along!
